    Default Should I Upgrade?

    Hey just a quick question. When i play some games such as maple story or Grand Fantasia I've noticed that my CPU goes to 100%, but the game itself runs very smoothly with no major laggs. I've done pretty much everything you can do to a computer to make it go faster.

    Kinda just wondering if my hardware is outdated or something and should I upgrade? If so what do i upgrade it to? As I've never upgraded the hardware on a computer before.

    Here's my system informtion.

    Yeah, I say just buy a new PC, your processor is pretty outdated and your graphics card is terrible, a good PC to play games on medium settings doesnt cost a whole lot nowadays
